This software was easy to use and this hard drive was easily installed and converted to.

TX hard drive enclosure and the free, awesome SuperDuper software), which took several hours

Yes - I had about 100 gb of data on a one terabyte drive and cloned it to a smaller 500 gb Samsung SSD - Macrium Reflect software (free) worked just fine

CCC is a great software package, which you should probably own anyway for various backup tasks, but if you don’t already have it, buying it adds to the expense of the upgrade

AWESOME Software for optimization.

Works great and comes with some nice Samsung SSD management software if you care to install it.

The software is amazing

Samsung also has free software called Samsung Magician which gives you useful data about your drive and makes it easy to optimize

Software had no trouble at all cloning the old 600GB disk with Windows7 64 bit and about 100GB of data on it over to the 500GB SSD

Samsung data migration software easy to use

I had a spinning DVD inside that I just booted their dumb software from, so I can't just flip it up-side-down to take the SSD out without shattering my DVD drive

So easy to do anyone can do it, the software to clone the old drive is included and it when smoothy for me

The free "Magician" software that comes with the drive supposedly boosts drive speed astronomically, but I haven't really used the computer for heavy demands, like gaming or video editing, to see much of a benefit with that software.

Tried going to Samsung site to find the correct software, doesn't seem to be available

Samsung software did not work to image my Western Digital drive

Good software

So yes, an okay drive, but budget the cost of some decent cloning software into your purchase, or take a crap shoot and download one of the freeware ones and hope you don't get malware in the download.

Installation was easy and the software to transfer data to the drive worked perfectly

The software included didn't work properly, but I can download the new version from the website of Samsung

After two attempts -- bracketed with lots of Googling, playing with BIOS settings, etc., and a couple of phone calls to Samsung tech support -- I learned that Samsung's software is not particularly reliable

samsung clone software worked perfectly for my configuration

The software it comes with makes it a breeze to swap hard drives

the Toshiba software made it easy to copy my old hard drive to my new Toshiba hard drive.package arrived late because amazon tries to deliver packages to businesses after hours.

The samsung software did not work to clone my previous

Software that came with it to migrate the data did not work on my MAC but I downloaded Carbon Copy and it could not have been easier

Great software

Huge pain in the butt to open my PC tower, install the software, initialize the drive - and then install on the MacBook

The free Samsung data migration software makes it super easy to clone your existing hard drive to your new

Instead, I downloaded Macrium Reflect Free software, which did it without such dumb restrictions

The software is also very helpful.

Then, last thought, their software to safely erase the drive

I love the Magician software.

Software worked like a charm

The software made migration quick and painless as well!

TX hard drive enclosure and the free, awesome SuperDuper software), which took several hours

The software they send you only works ON P

Acronis is not an expensive program, and I'm sure I could have cloned the drive myself with the proper software

Samsung provides the easiest, most user friendly, migration/cloning software that I have seen

That is not the way Samsung's Super Stupid Software works

More economical until I was faced with the option of either doing actual work, thinking, and reading of instructions to use freeware to clone and resize the non Samsung SSD, now realizing that the super simple but proprietary software that comes with the Samsung is worth at least $40, or buying one of the half dozen third party backup programs which all probably operate in the black thanks to those like myself

The software and UI available with this SSD are hard to beat and you are paying extra for a reason

The software that comes with it makes the migration painless

As far as Samsung Magician software is concerned, it's not clear to me what benefit you get from

Installing it on my laptop was very easy and it comes with useful hdd/sdd cloning software

The software will lead you every step of the way.

The Samsung Magician software is nice to interrogate the read/write speeds of all drives, including the old HDD once removed

That is not the way Samsung's Super Stupid Software works

The software made it easy to clone my drive to this one as well.

Good performance software.

I'm deducting a star due to the poor quality migration software that comes with the product

No issues with the startup, I am not sure how the cloning works when migrating from a HDD to a SDD but all my usual software loads very well

Every OS should have the privilege of living inside of a super-fast SSD!There isn't much to say about it; It's fast, great quality, and has good software.

I don't really like this SSD nor the carp software they give you with it

Great performance, fair price and really good software if you need to clone existing drive.

Love getting that 500mb/s.

Started getting I/O errors in Oct. 2017.

Purchased a new laptop that came with a 1T hard drive but a bit slow for my taste

Rapid Mode is blazing fast, with sequential read speed of 3,126MB/s (268 w/ rapid mode off) and seq write speed of 2,635MB/s (255 w/ rapid mode off).

Boot and application load time are at least twice as fast as before the swap

3 years later still working just as it did brand new.

Boot time is now less than 15 secs, thrice as fast as before!

Item as described, smooth transaction, highly recommend A+

After installation computer works as before only much faster.
